Modifying Child Support in Colorado

Once your child support orders are in place, you may think that you’re free of having to deal with legal issues related to child support.
Unfortunately, and fortunately, child support orders are never set in
stone. Since many life circumstances cannot be predicted or
anticipated, child support orders may be modified to reflect current
life circumstances.

For example, if the non-custodial parent loses his or her job or
obtains a substantial increase in income, a child support order may be
modified to reflect those changes if those changes are significant and
lasting. Obviously, a parent without a job will have difficulty making
child support payments, while a parent who just landed a new job or
received a significant raise should be able to offer more financial
support for his or her children.

To modify child support in Colorado, the change in monthly child
support must amount to at least 10%. If a modification is granted, the
new child support order will be applied retroactively to the date that
you filed your Motion. To file for a modification, there are a variety
of forms you may need to fill out, including documents like:

If you are not sure how to proceed with your child support
modification in Colorado, it may be a good idea to consult with a
lawyer. A lawyer can provide you with the information you need to file a
motion to modify child support and help you throughout the entire
legal process whether you live in Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs,
Fort Collins, Boulder or elsewhere in the state.

The amount of child support a court will order
for any particular case may be different from the amount estimated by the
calculator.
For the most part, these calculators assume that all of the
children at issue will primarily live with one parent. They are not intended
to estimate child support for joint physical custody or split custody
arrangements.
These calculators do not take into account any possible
adjustments for children who are not subject to the custody order, but who are
living with one of the parents. Finally, these calculators may be based on
older or outdated state guidelines or calculations and may not take into
consideration state or federal tax implications on income.
These
and many other factors can affect a child support order entered by a court.
